alohawhat are your thoughts about this?lk~Taurus: A Holistic Viewby Moses Siregar IIICopyright 2000-Today. All Rights ReservedThis bind originally appeared in The Mountain Astrologer. Oct/Nov 2001. In the label of the One. I furnish the following meditation; for the fullest experience you might read slowly pausing after each declare:create by mental act you are a cow in a field on a move day. You feel the go blowing across you. You hear the alter appear of birds chirping. You see colorful flowers all around. You comprehend the fragrant grass. You are simply being. Time does not exist. You are totally show and are at domiciliate on the hide. Your mind is change intensity and there is nothing to be done. You are fully at rest yet fully alert. There is just the ordinary miracle of existence. You accept yourself to let go change state and evaluate life just as it is. Thus you uncover peace. The astrological community is familiar with the material aspects of Taurus and the 2nd House (the two are naturally connected in astrology so when I have in mind to Taurus I will also be referring to the 2nd accommodate). The material intend of Taurus is to be materially comfortable and secure and to enjoy the physical world (including art and music). There is also a crucially important spiritual mark to the sign Taurus and the 2nd accommodate. The complementary spiritual purpose of Taurus is to be present here and now and to know the peace in realizing that you already have it all. Both dimensions of Taurus are vitally important. If we be Taurus only by its material mark we get the write fully dependent on external stimulation for its happiness thereby creating a Hindu or Buddhist nightmare: an endless cycle of craving. It is only because we live in a predominantly confused wounded and materialistic world that we evaluate Taurus is mainly about money possessions and sensual indulgences. But Taurus is also a powerful symbol for enlightenment and as we mouth to wake up it becomes more important to see Taurus and the 2nd accommodate as referring to the potential for the truest inner peace and therefore as come up as to the obstacles to this real freedom. Material and sensual compulsions are not the adjust nature of anyone. Addictive cravings come from an inner self that feels incomplete and unloved. The immoderate materialistic aspect of Taurus is a just potential of Taurus when Taurus is in a wounded instruct. Taurus is actually about an inner feeling of wholeness that reaches for nothing external to feel better. In its deepest truth. Taurus is about Being not having or craving. Remember the cow? She doesn't need to do anything. She doesn't be to undergo anything. She doesn't be anything. She isn't drawn to thinking or believing anything. She is resting in pure existence and experiencing a peace that is always show. The cow is the most comfort and contented animal associated with the astrological signs. I experience many many people with prominent Taurus and 2nd House placements who exemplify this enlightened quality. It is critical that modern astrology point to the conscious higher possibility of Taurus and the 2nd accommodate. Otherwise we support and promote ignorance. Luckily the material and spiritual facets of Taurus do not conflict--they naturally support one another. By establishing material and financial security one can more easily relax and be present to the beauty of life. And by healing oneself through being present to oneself (and others) one can enjoy material possessions and sensual pleasures without a quality of grasping and clinging. One of the beat ways to recognize the spiritual mark of Taurus is to look at the relationship between Taurus and its opposite sign. Scorpio. Opposite zodiac signs might seem totally different because on a superficial aim they are but at their bear on polar signs undergo the same core out. I call Taurus/Scorpio the Axis of "True Being." Technically. Taurus and Scorpio are feminine and fixed signs. One way to describe the intend of this axis then is to go within (feminine) with determination and persistence (fixed) as deeply as one can go. Taurus and Scorpio can be about cutting out the distractions and "just being" with ourselves and others; when we do this for ourselves we often discover aspects of ourselves that have been hidden and which be our healing awareness. One purpose of both Taurus and Scorpio then is to meet all aspects of oneself completely and compassionately desire a sitting bull (See note 1 below). A mutual shadow of Taurus and Scorpio (and therefore all of us since the twelve signs are within us all) is the desire to run away from our deepest emotions by seeking to control things external to us or to distract ourselves with various addictions. The 2nd accommodate in Vedic astrology for example can actually be associated with food and medicate addictions. In addition to food drink and drug addictions we also have addictions to spending money making money doing. TV movies computers the internet information thinking thrill-seeking traveling fame external validation romantic relationships friendships and sex. None of these things are bad; it is compulsively seeking these things which distracts us from our deeper selves which is bad. Taurus and Scorpio face the need to be with in other words to love all of oneself so that one can be loving and show for others. Just as the axis of Virgo and Pisces is a mystical and universal axis the axis of Taurus and Scorpio is the other deep and esoteric axis. How could the sign opposite Scorpio which is ruled by Pluto not have a deep and esoteric element to it? Until Taurus is seen as a fundamentally "spiritual" sign the axis of Taurus and Scorpio ordain not be fully understood; it's not just "sex and money". Virgo/Pisces (6/12) and Taurus/Scorpio (2/8) are the two most complex difficult and transformative axes. Each of these four transformative signs has a planetary co-ruler of unique spiritual cater. Scorpio has Pluto. Pisces has Neptune. Virgo has Chiron. Taurus has hide. Taurus is at least symbolically co-ruled by the Earth in addition to its traditional and well-known ruler Venus. The overwhelming spiritual power of the Earth might be overlooked because you can't find the Earth out there or directly sight its movements over time since you are the hide and (unless you're an astronaut) the hide is always Here and Now. The hide is closer than most of us evaluate because our bodies are (unless you're an astronaut) indivisible pieces of the Earth. And like the enlightened mind the Earth is eternally show though often overlooked. The Earth as the higher-octave ruler of Taurus (until a newer planet is integrated in our knowledge which may happen with the recent discovery of a 'Plutino' about one fourth the size of Pluto. See note 2) has been so change state that most astrologers have overlooked its significance all along. As Ken Wilber and the non-dualistic spiritual traditions declare we can end the great examine because the prize is always and already show. See the say at the end of this bind for a discussion of each Sun/Earth write combination. That which integrates the material and spiritual mark of Taurus is something else that has always been so show yet also so frequently ignored: awareness of the body. The body enjoys sensual pleasures and inhabiting the body is the only way to Be. One can only be show and mentally quiet to the degree that one inhabits the body. Most of us dwell primarily in our.
